S T E P Academics Inc.

S.T.E.P. Academics was founded in 2003 to offer tutoring services to students who consistently underperformed on standardized tests. In 2008 we began offering during-school-day small group instructional support to students in grades 1-12. "S.T.E.P." tutors are state-credentialed professional educators. Moderate to low-performing students benefit from small group, data-driven, and differentiated instruction. It has been proven that this instructional model has increased the academic performance and confidence of low-performing students. In addition, S.T.E.P. has incorporated the study of performing arts as a means of refining student exposure to various kinds of literature through the study of acting, the study of vocal music, and broad dance styles. Performing Arts classes are taught by professionally trained and experienced performing artists. Students are fully engaged in the learning process as they participate in both online tutoring and in-person performing arts instruction.

S.T.E.P. Academics offers uncompromising and affordable tutorial enrichment services to students in grades K-12 using credentialed educators. Services are provided on the premises of Title 1 schools by offering in-house during school day flexible learning support. Tutors enhance the quality of classroom instruction by facilitating students' achievement of instructional goals with direct real time academic support. Addressing questions and expanding explanations of concepts, targeting areas in need of improvement, and using exercises differentiating learning modalities are among strategies used to assist students' acquisition of standards-based knowledge and skill. S.T.E.P. Academics, Inc. continues to apply for grants and corporate sponsorships to broaden the span of students who are in dire need of successful supplemental education. All citizens deserve the academic support necessary to become an asset to their country.
